WILD NEBRASKA WEATHER: Two nights of storms left their footprints behind and citizens cleaned up from the high winds and hail that pelted the area last Thursday and Friday nights. Tree branches were down throughout the community, gardens destoyed and the corn on the north side of town looking a little rough. The west side of the Comfort Suites building was damaged pretty severely as winds relentlessly tore at the siding. A large bit of the covering came off in Thursday night’s storm with the remaining was blown off on Friday, smashing into the main water system for the buildings’ underground sprinkler system causing additional damage.
